     | 9,744 views

    the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in. It’s not just what Jesus did for us. It is what Jesus invites us to. It is a way of life for those following Jesus.

    The Call to the Cross Mark 8:34-38 The Cross. What comes to mind when you hear that word? A decorative altar ornament? Something that rests on top of a church steeple? A piece of jewelry hanging around the neck? Mention the word "cross" to the people of Jesus' day and a very different image came ...read more

    Now that we have seen the differences between a fan and follower and see that Christ calls people to be followers, what are some of the specifics of becoming a follower of Christ? Today we want to ask, who actually can become his follower and is there an

    What is it that vision brings, how are we able to clarify the situation and be empowered. Hopefully this sermon brings some understanding to this.

    Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 988 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.
